Brief Answer:
I think she is not pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
If the contraceptives she used were estroprogestative pills known as everyday pill the fertility is back the next month.
If she used depo it needs some months to regain fertility and regular cycles.
Pulling out is not 100%sure protection method.
Pregnancy tests are highly accurate (used 5 days passed from expected cycle day) and you used two of them.
So she is not pregnant.
Maybe the delay has hormonal origin due to stopping contraceptives.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.

What a relief. So, a couple days later she said she was spotting so I bought the tests but they were negative. Her menstrual period supposed to start next week sometime. So you really think she’s not pregnant? She was standing up when ejaculation took place and I made sure it didn’t get near her vaginal area.

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy tests can be used in 5days of delayed period.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again. I thought you took the tests 2weeks passed her expected periods day.
You should take a pregnancy home test at least 5days of delayed period otherwise they don't show anything.
The pull out method is about 70% protection.
If she is within 5days of contact can take emergency pills.
Lets see if her period will come or not.
I think most probably she is not pregnant.
Best regards.

Okay, one final one, she finished out her BC last month at the end, a week and a half later, we had sex, I pulled out, re-inserted, and 2 weeks later. She said she was spotting. At that time we have 2 negative pregnancy tests. Her menstrual period is supposed to come next week. How likely that she is pregnant? Every day pill.

Basically, when you stopped birth control you need a full cycle to become fertil again?

Answered by Dr. Olgeta Xhufka (25 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
When someone stop the pills the next cycle is fertile.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again. When you stop taking the contraception the next cycle the fertility is back the next cycle. So she had an ovulatiory cycle most probably.
Best regards.
